Heat
S3P1. Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information about the ways heat energy is transferred and measured.
a. Ask questions to identify sources of heat energy. (Clarification statement: Examples could include sunlight, friction, and burning.)
I can identify sources of heat energy (sunlight, friction, and burning). I can ask questions to identify sources of heat energy (sunlight, friction, and burning).
b. Plan and carry out an investigation to gather data using thermometers to produce tables and charts that illustrate the effect of sunlight on various objects. (Clarification statement: The use of both Fahrenheit and Celsius temperature scales is expected.)
I can recognize the effects of sunlight on objects.I can identify temperature readings on a thermometer.I can use thermometers to record the temperature on a chart or table of various objects.I can plan and carry out an investigation to gather data on the effect of sunlight on various objects.
c. Use tools and every day materials to design and construct a device/structure that will increase/decrease the warming effects of sunlight on various materials. (Clarification statement: Conduction, convection, and radiation are taught in upper grades.)
I can recognize that sunlight has different effects on different materials. I can recognize that various materials can increase or decrease the effects of temperature. I can design a device/structure that will increase or decrease the warming effect of sunlight on various material. I can construct a device/structure that will increase or decrease the warming effect of sunlight on various materials.
